I've been fooling around with the new chat AI I got yesterday, mainly I've been asking it to help me with meal planning. I told it the dietary requirements of my family of three, mainly that we are dairy-free and meat-free. Then I asked it for a simple cookie recipe using some of the ingredients I have in the back of my pantry that need using up. I told the AI that I had cacao nibs, wholemeal self-raising flour, coconut flour, powdered psyllium husk and sunflower kernels. This was the recipe it came up with, which we tried and it turned out great!
